Millions of American families rely on Social Security benefits to help cover essential expenses like housing, food, and healthcare.
With the March 2025 Social Security payments rolling out on a staggered schedule, many households will see their monthly support arrive on March 19th.
Who Will Receive the March 19 Payment?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes payments based on birthdays, ensuring families receive funds in a structured manner.
- March 12 – Those born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- March 19 – Those born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- March 26 – Those born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
If a family member, such as a retired parent or disabled spouse, has a birthday between the 11th and 20th, your household’s payment arrives on March 19.
There’s assistance out there for you—take a moment to explore your options.
How Much Will Families Receive?
Thanks to the 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase, Social Security benefits will be higher in 2025, providing families with additional financial support.
- Average Social Security benefit: $2,000 per month
- Maximum benefit for those retiring at 70: $5,180 per month
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) max benefit: $967 per month
For families where multiple members receive Social Security—such as a retired parent, a disabled spouse, or dependent children—these payments can provide essential financial relief each month.
